Show Notes

There have been many downsides to the pandemic, but one of the worst is that it seems to have divided Aussies into a collection of individual states and territories rather than one united nation.

The fight over closed domestic borders, and politicians at all levels blaming each other over their handling of Covid-19 has caused what some fear may be an irreparable rift.

The Quicky speaks to a Federal Senator, and an Australian Studies expert to find out how we got to this point, and if and when we might all be reunited as one country moving forward.
